Billy Hagood, 82, the owner of Alabama Typewriter Company, reportedly became trapped inside his business after a Dodge Ram went through the store’s entrance.
Hagood wasn’t injured, but he had to wait about an hour before emergency crews could clear an entrance for the shop owner.
Another motorist said the wreck occurred as the driver of the truck fled after rear-ending her vehicle.

What makes it hard to believe is the idea that there are still any typewriter repair shops open.

I saw this happening! I’m so glad the owner was not hurt. I hope the drunk driver is in jail!
